In the ovelshadowing interest OF the
Irish struggle, bill now before the Eng

chnracteristics OF English Institutions has
escaped much attention in this country.
1t is the so.ca!led Land Transfer bill, which
has passed its second reading in the House
oi Lords. of which one OF the chiefly note
worthy effects Is the formal and final de-
riruction of the principle OF primoseni-
turs in English law. While largely con-
serned with certain far.reaching improve
ments of detail in registration, conveying
and proving titles, the Land Transfer bill
provides finally that land in cnse OF intes-
tacy shall be inherited in no wise differ
emily from personally, and forbids in fu-
ture the eniAiling Of real estate. Will
these provisions it puts conclusive lin
iiaion to the devices by which great es-
taies have been 70 irrevocably held to-
geiher for centuries, and by which land
has been made the perpetual barrier OF the

balls for ransom. He came from London
to attend the national convention of African

of which he was elected corresponding Sec

in some of the old slave States where their
condition is no better than in days of slave

them. At some places there is system, the
object of which is to keep the black men in
ignorance. I visited one place in Louisiana
whsre they are prohibited from attending
school, so that they may still be kept in

that of planter who managed to have his

Is nowhere in the metropolis that this ia
nous dish can be had. In the rotunda of
the Astor House, at the st. Denis, the Sim
claire and little cafe under Daly's Theater
and one or two other restaurants a very good
quality of beans can be bought when they
happen to be on the bill of fare. But bar
ring these few exceptions the true article is
not known. There are of course thousands
of eating houses where baked beans are reg
-ularly served. But they such beans
They are cooked in huge shallow pans, are as
white as milk and when they are dished out
they look as if they had been F'squashed'' in
a mortar. There is never any pork in them,
no juice and they as tasteless as water.
They always served with great slab of
boiled beef or ham, and to person who has
been accustomed to the good old Massachu-
sets dish they are delusion and an absurd
joke. Still this is all New Workers know of
baked beans. They eat them now and then
and suppose they are tasting the real thing,
and in their ignorance wonder why the la
bled sustenance of Boston is so popular.
Taking into consideration the great number
of New England people here it seems as if
there was fortune in store for the man who
would come to New York and give the peo-
pie taste of the good old fashioned Boston
baked beans.

the appearance of the subject is something
awful. A woman is never Pretty when her
